I think it can also be difficult, because bullying can occur without violating the specifics of ECFs rules. Often one person will say something and others jump in,and overwhelm the single individual. Some of the bullying is outside of the forum,on FB, or youtube.....
However, the
mods also can't evaluate the problem if they don't know when it's happening. They can't follow every
thread. The best tool they have to know if something bad is happening on ECF is for the questionable posts to be reported (clicking the little triangle with an exclamation point, on the lower left side of a post, opens a window that allows you to send a message to tell a
mod to check it out- spam, a specific problem, a questionable post, or bullying)
